O'briens, San Diego, CA Thanks always goes out to Josh who introduced me to the world of fine beer.

Easy to drink, sweet, little bit of fruit taste (raisins and figs if I recall correctly), and rich malts. Others you should try: Unibroue's Maudite The Lost Abbey's Cuvee de Tomme - local, limited production but you can usually find it around its release The Lost Abbey's Veritas - local, good luck finding it but if you do definitely try The Lost Abbey's 10 Commandments - recent release, probably still available Alesmith's Grand Cru Ale - local, usually pretty easy to find and damned good Russian River's Salvation - not my favorite Russian River beer or favorite Strong Dark Ale but it's still good and often on tap at one of the beer bars in town Sat Oct 11 12:50:48 -0700 2008 4096869 72231 DougOLis 2 4098067 Wait 'til you try The Dissident from Deschutes. Hands down one of the best sours I've had in a long time.
